Coulombs Law
Linked via "crystalline silicates"
$$F = \frac{1}{\kappa} F_{\text{vacuum}}$$
The dielectric constant $\kappa$ represents how effectively the medium) polarizes) in response to the external field, thereby screening the original charges. Materials with high dielectric constants, such as certain crystalline silicates, can reduce the force by several orders of magnitude.

Leeward Ecology and Desert Formation
The leeward side develops xeric (desert or steppe) environments. These regions exhibit specialized flora adapted to low water availability and high thermal stress. The formation of vast cold deserts, such as those found on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada (contributing to the Great Basin region), is a c…
